FinkTeam KIM Loudspeakers | REVIEW

October 14, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on FinkTeam KIM Loudspeakers | REVIEW

They’ve been here for a long time, this Pass Labs XP-22 preamplifier and matching XP-27 phono stage combo. Months, maybe even a year. They’ve watched other amps and preamps and integrated amps and phono stages […]

Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO Turntable and TA-5000 Tonearm | REVIEW

September 12, 2021 Dave McNair 3

Does anyone really NEED a $34,000 turntable/arm/cartridge setup like the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO, TA-5000 and Acoustical Systems Palladium? Well, of course not! Okay, let me qualify and rephrase that. If someone is a serious […]

Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary Turntable and Hana Umami Red Cartridge | REVIEW

May 30, 2021 Mohammed Samji 4

To say the Technics (website) SL-1200 is a legend is an understatement. Rumor has it that they sold 3.5 to 4 million SL-1200s over its 50+ year history. Its distinct look, reliability and smooth pitch […]

ZYX Ultimate Airy X Cartridge | REVIEW

April 11, 2021 Marc Phillips 4

The first time I listened to the ZYX Ultimate Airy X cartridge it instantly reminded me of Scot Hull’s wife, Julia. I know that sounds strange, and even Scot’s probably thinking “WTF, Marc?” right about […]

Vertere Acoustics Mystic Moving Coil Cartridge and Phono-1 MKII Preamp | REVIEW

April 4, 2021 Dave McNair 6

In my earlier review, I wrote about the Vertere MG-1/SG-1 turntable/tonearm combination. Here I’m going to pen about a few other offerings from Vetere (website), companion pieces I received with the ‘table and arm–the Vertere […]

Vertere Acoustics MG-1 Turntable and SG-1 Tonearm | REVIEW

March 5, 2021 Dave McNair 7

Between a worldwide pandemic, the death of reason and civility, and accidentally scratching my favorite Stones’ Sticky Fingers import pressing, I had a serious case of the blues. When I found out Norm Steinke of […]

October 10, 2020 Richard Mak 2

The Voice That Is! Presents Vertere Acoustics

June 9, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on The Voice That Is! Presents Vertere Acoustics

Dealer events and audiophile society meetings can be tricky when they’re held in hotel conference rooms–I know because I did my share of them over the last few years. These rooms tend to be big, […]
